MR., w. G..

The State Agricultural Society did
itself honor in %re-electing to the Presi-
dency this most worthy gentleman
and splendid farmer and business
man. Under his administration, there
will be no such word as failure. We
believe that the unparalleled success
which all felt must have marked the
Fair just closed, but for difficulties
beyond all human control, inspired
every visitor with the fullest conf
dence in it's management and will
secure to President Upchurch the
hearty cooperation and encourage
ment of hundreds in all parts of the
State who have hitherto appeared in
different to it's success. Let the farm
ers all over the State and in all enter
prises designed for their advancement,
see to it that such men are placed in
charge of it and it will not be long be-
fore they will see the agricultural in
terests of the State placed on a higher

BIG MEETING IN GREENSBORO.

The North Carolina Farmers Asso-
ton will hold it's first annual meeting
in the city Of Greensboro on the Sec
ond Wednesday in January next. AS
will be seen by reference to the pro-
ceedings of the Executive Committee
held in this city lastweek, all arrange
ments for the accommodation OF the
farmers will be made-cheap rates
at hotels end boarding houses and on
the railroads. Each county IN tne
State will be entitled to as many votes
as it has representatives in the lower
branch of the Legislature, but OF course
can send as many delegates as 1t may
choose to cast that vote and to par
ticipate in the deliberations. Inc
Constitution of the Association says
those are eligible to membership ohiS
whose chief interest is in farming
Now let the farmers all over the 0'a.U
take steps at once looking to a lun
representation of their respecVN'
counties and see that they send tnen
best men. Let the farmers OF 'nn
good old State resolve that they WIN
hereafter devote more of their 'iD1
and attention to their oUm BUSINESS
let them show it by coming to GU
meeting in Greensboro. 1t was
grand success in this city on the -V'D
of January last, and we want ~

clearly expressed, that a ver6at'm re-
port of them would read well. He
illustrated the silo and the filling it
with a model which. was sent. to Mr..
Primrose by Prof. Myers, Of the Mis-
sissippi Agricultural College. In dis
cussing the merits of different crops
for ensilage, DR.. Lewis stated that
corn gave the greatest yield, but in
nutritive elements, clover or the pea
vine were much richer. Numbers of
gentlemen propounded questions
which were readily answered.
"The Restoration Of WORKOUT
Lands" by. c.. Mcdonald, was listened
to with unlagging interest through
out. He took the high ground; that
we have no moral right to deplete, year
out, rob and destroy our lands. "Any
FOOL" said he "can wear out and de-
stroy good lands" He used plain
and strong English, and his audience
we're highly pleased. ]"
w. S. Primrose was introduced and

State Agricultural and Mechanical
College," =. @.- ...
We present this admirable paper
to our readers in this issue. Mr..
Primrose is one of the Trustees of
our Agricultural College and is apply
ing himself closely to the great work
entrusted to him and others, and his
thoughts are interesting and instruc.
tive. That institution has nc stronger
advocate, or more earnest and enthusi
astic friend, than Mr.. Primrose.
The speeches and essays were all
good, and the influence of the first
State Farmers Institute will be felt
in all parts of the State and will stimu
late our people to greater effort fol
the improvement of u agricultural

The farmers Of the East are begin
ming to move.\ The State Grange will
hold it's annuapsession at Tarboro on
the 18th and 18th of December. At
the same time and place a County
Farmers Institute will be held. We
hazard nothing in saying that this
will be one of the most interesting
occasions of the year. W. are glad
to note this fraternal action on the
part Of the farmers belonging to the
Grange and of those not connected
with it. It shows that a general con-
viction is fastening itself on the minds
Of all classes of thinkers among the
farmers that we must act together, and
we predict that the day is not distant
when, even those distinctions among
farmers which now apparently divide
them, but which really exist only an
mame will fade away and one hundred
thousand farmers in our State will be
thoroughly and firmly bound together
for the advancement of their interests.
And we predict further that the farm
ers of Edgecombe will be among the
foremost in bringing about this happy
consumation. Let all the farmers of
that section be present. It will do
them all good.

A WORD TO THE ALLIANCE

L - -
: In the scope Of it's high aims and
noble purposes-in it's possible cana.
bilities for lasting good to the masses
nothing has ever engaged the minds
of American farmers of superior mao.
nitude and Importance to the Alliance
movement. In all its plans, DESIGNS
and features, it is essentially progress.
sive. Improvement, enlargement and
development must mark it's every stem
of progress. This must come of in.
vestigation and study. FITS true friend
and sincere promoter will ever be on
the outlook to perfect it's designs and
to increase it's usefulness. Hence
when our State Alliance met and
adopted our Constitution, it conceived
that a more efficient and more econom.
ical plan for organizing 'Alliances
could be devised than the one adopted
in other States. We are satisfied that
our State Alliance found that plan. It
Incorporated it into our Constitution,
But it will take a little time to perfect
and put the system in working order.
Better lose a little time and do the
work we'll and thoroughly. The Sub.
ordinate Alliances are the stones in
the groundwork of the whole struc.
ture. They should be of the best ma.
%terial, in the best shape and placed in
position in workman-like n If
the foundation be defective, the whole
structure must fall sooner or later
Hence we gain time in this most i'm.
portant matter, if we "make haste
SLOWLY Be patient, friends and
brethren. Our President is using
every effort to put good, safe, intelli.
gent organizers in the field. He is
working hard to perfect the plans
marked out in our Constitution, and
we feel safe in predicting that the
| Alliance in North Carolina will ad-
vance and develop under this plan as
rapidly as it's most enthusiastic friends
could wish. We ventured to challenge
all our sister States, at the National
Alliance, by saying that North Caro-.
lima would bring up a report at the
next meeting that could not be sur
passed, if equalled, by any other State.
And we believe it will be done. 1t
cannot be done by rash or %inconsider'
ate work. If asked upon what the
Alliance must rely more than any
thing else for success, we should an
swer-prudence, patience and fidelity.
Letters r coming in by every mail
asking us to send organizers. This
| will be done as soon and as fast as
possible. Meantime, send on the ap-
plications. We keep them on file to
aid our organizers in making out their
programme.

THE STATE FAIR.

Never in the history of the North
Carolina Agricultural Society has it
been subjected to such a trying ordeal
as the one through which it passed
last week. The hopeful spirit Of our
farmers, the good crops, the thorough
advertising, the cheap rates on rail
roads, the liberal premiums offered,
all conspired to make the outlook for
the most successful Fair ever held in
the State, most suspicious indeed. But
alas, for human hope and human cal
culation! Tuesday morning the
"leaden sky" seemed to hover on the
house-tops-dark, dreary, drizzling,
dripping clouds drenched the earth,
and thus it continued until Thursday
night. Sweet young girls, gallant
young men, sturdy farmers, horse
jockeys, draymen, hackmen, hotel and
boarding house keepers, railroad men
all, at first looked perplexed.
Weather vanes on public buildings
were consulted to see if it was a reg

were examined to know when a change
would come, but all to no purpose.
Still they came on every train by
hundreds and thousands, as if determ-
med to have a good time any how.
Mud, slush, water everywhere but
they were not to be deferred. Never
were SO many umbrellas and wraps
and drabbled dresses seen on the
streets of Raleigh at any one time !;
still they laughed and joked and pad
died on still the hacks and street cars
and hotels and stores and trains were
crowded still they woua 60 to the
Fair Monotonous, dreary, dropping
and murky weather, and jolly, joy
full, bouyant spirit, characterized the
occasion. The programme was utter
1y demolished, but the officers and
people took it all in the best possible
mood. Nothing like it has ever
been seen in the State, if it hadn't
rained," was heard on all sides. But
it was not all a failure. Floral Hal
was we'll filled with most creditable
exhibits Of the handiwork of the ladies,
displays Of musical instruments, mer.
chandize, agricultural products, &C.,
&c. The display of poultry was never
better, and by those competent to
Judge, it is said that it was the best

NEW REMEDY FOR THE sLEEPLEsS.

Now, what Is 1t that dis,urbs sleep?
Noise? Not altogether, for the inhabi.
tants of besieged towns have been
known to sleep through the roar of
bombardment, and to waken suddenly
when the firing ceased. Millers will
sometimes start up from sleep, awak-
ened by the mere stopping of the mill
wheel. The rattle of u train in motion
will induce sleep, as all travellers know.
And last, not least the sleep of infants,
the sweetest and soundest sleep Of all,
is promoted by sound. Tho popular
view, then, that noise disturbs sleep,
like most popular views. only touches
the truth, but does not grasp it, The
true cause of disturbance is interrup>
ton. Any sudden cessation OF the
continuity of silence or of sound awak.
ems the sleeper for sound, provided ii

effect on the brain as silence. That
simple piece of mechanism, the alan IN
clock, is based on the theory of inter
ruption-tt interrupts silence.
